Experiencing Bon Ton Resort, Langkawi

My wife and I had the wonderful experience of staying at Bon Ton Resort in Langkawi on 7-9 September, 2018. This beautiful boutique resort is located somewhere between Pantai Cenang and Padang Matsirat.

Bon Ton Resort is composed of kampong houses on stilts that have been dismantled from their original locations, restored, and then reassembled on site as guest villas. These villas preserve their original exterior appearance, but the inside has been comfortable with modern amenities such as air conditioning, shower, bathtub and television. But despite the modern amenities, there are signs that nature is closeby and often has to be kept at bay. This is particularly so with the presence of mosquito netting and repellents. Having said that, I have to say that the mosquito netting offers the villas a grand elegance.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
